Crafted from solid elm wood, they feature a warm patina that has developed beautifully over time, enhancing their natural character. The stools showcase a sturdy and minimalist design typical of Chapo’s work. The rich grain of the elm is clearly visible, with soft, rounded edges on the seat, which add to both comfort and the natural beauty of the wood. Each stool stands on four slightly tapered legs, making them very sturdy and stable. The rounded joints for the legs are sticking out a bit, around 2 cm, to give the seating part a somewhat floating character. Very nicely done. The craftsmanship is evident in the precision of the joinery, which complements the aged, warm tones of the elm. Note another very typicap Chapo signature: the joint that holds the three seating components together, so two on each side. Sometimes they are hard to find but they are there. These stools are versatile pieces, perfect for various spaces like kitchens, studios, or as accent pieces in a living room. Their timeless design reflects Pierre Chapo’s philosophy of balancing functionality and aesthetic simplicity, making these stools both practical and visually appealing.
